Mrs. Sakaki, I'd like to request your help with something, to hopefully make sure something doesn't blow up into a larger mess.

Looks like I arrived at the right time.

*She enters, holding the tablet up to show that she has it.*

[duelacademynpcs]

Very good, you upheld your side of the bargain. Now, if you would, please, show me how to operate it, madam.

::Gesticulates.::

[sakaki_family_values]

Of course.

*As requested, she shows Akeley how to operate the tablet and how to search things via the internet, which she describes as the 'gateway' to 'all human knowledge'. She teaches him how to use it to make notes, as well as how to charge it, covering everything she can about it as much as possible.*

[duelacademynpcs]

Excellent.

::Presumably takes it once you're done giving him the tutorial.::

[danse_etoile]

And I assume I'm free to go?

[duelacademynpcs]

Oh of course, of course, madam. I don't see a need for more violence than necessary.

[sakaki_family_values]

Alright. We will take our leave for now then.

As a reminder, this is in exchange for you finding alternate ways to study us, that isn't abducting and dissecting people.

[duelacademynpcs]

Of course, madam. No humans will be harmed.

I am nobility. I honor my word.

::Sweeping bow.::

[danse_etoile]

Of course.

::Motions to Yoko.::

I suggest we leave ASAP though.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko nods at Asuka and then begins walking towards the door.*

Alright. We'll be on our way now.

[duelacademynpcs]

Very well. I'll be collapsing this space. So I'd advise leaving sooner rather than later.

[danse_etoile]

::Beat.::

... Mrs. Sakaki, how fast can you run?

[sakaki_family_values]

...hopefully fast enough.

Let's get the hell outta here!

[danse_etoile]

::Runs!::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko runs as fast as she can!*

[duelacademynpcs]

::The school behind you seems to be vanishing, folding like a house of cards.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko runs as fast as she can from the collapsing reality behind her!*

[danse_etoile]

::As does Asuka!

It looks like there's a normal hallway you know isn't made of ghosts and lies! Just sprint aa bit harder, though it feels like you two might need to jump!::

[sakaki_family_values]

I think we need to jump to make it!!

Ready....! NOW!!

*As soon as she gets to the point she feels she needs to jump, she takes a leap towards the normal hallway!*

[danse_etoile]

RIGHT!

::LEAPS. We both tumble onto the hallway, as the corridor collapses into crimson space and then the wall forms back.::

[sakaki_family_values]

*After tumbling on to the floor, Yoko moves so that she is leaning against a wall, while trying to catch her breath.*

Geez, I am not as young as I used to be...

*After a moment, her breathing calms down as she glances towards where the weird hallway and room had been.*

...Is he gone for good, or do you think we'll see him again?

[danse_etoile]

... I'm. Not sure.

Though. I do get the feeling while he'll honor the letter of the deal, he'll twist the meaning. ... Hrm.

[sakaki_family_values]

*Yoko gives out a sigh.*

Probably.

I guess we'll just have to be cautious in case he shows up again.

[danse_etoile]

Agreed. But at least. He's. Reasonable. "Reasonable".

[sakaki_family_values]

Yes, at least it seems we can talk to and reason with him.

*With that, she stands up.*

The students are waiting in my office, so we should get them home to their worried families.
